If you're looking
for the best lens for the Nikon D7200, then there are various third-party
lenses that can be recommended. Of course you eligible to select the original
Nikon lenses. Which one is better?

A
photography enthusiast, especially owners of DSLR cameras certainly not
satisfied just using the default kit lens, as well as the users of the Nikon
D7200. There are some lenses that can be recommended for this camera. Of course, you
can choose native-made lenses for the Nikon D7200, but you can also choose a
third-party lenses such as Tamron, Sigma or Zeiss lenses. As we know The D7200
is equipped with 24.2MP CMOS sensor with no optical low-pass filter, and a
high-end APS-C camera. Let’s find the best lenses for this great camera.

If you have a plan to select the most appropriate lens to create portraits,
the that best suits is the size of a 50mm lens, so the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM
Art lens and Sigma 50mm F1.4 EX DG HSM. Both of them are of course the best
prime lenses for Nikon D7200. All lenses are quite expensive compared to AF
NIKKOR 50mm f / 1.4D and AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f / 1.8G. Besides these lenses,
you also can choose the Sigma 50mm f / 1.4 EX DG HSM lens and Zeiss Planar T
50mm f/1.4 ZF2.

The 50mm lens is very appropriate that you use to create portraits, which
will produce the effect of blur in the background, while the face of the
subject of your photo will appear bright, sharp with natural skin tone. You
only need to compare the price and other features that may you get from one of
the lenses.

In addition to the size of 50mm, you can choose the size of 85mm or 105mm
lens for making portraits, and such lenses is recognized as a prime lens if you
want to make the best portrait photo. Is this type of lens is also able to be
used as a telephoto lens? Of course you can try, but you have to set the
aperture accurately. You can choose the Sigma 85mm F1.4 EX DG HSM, you can earn
half the price than the Nikon original lens, the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f /
1.8G, the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f / 1.4G. If you want a cheaper lens, you can
consider the Samyang 85mm f / 1.4 Aspherical IF.

The 50mm lens is very popular lens to create portraits, which will produce
the effect of blur in the background, while the face of the subject of your
photo will appear bright, sharp with natural skin tone. You only need to
compare the price and other features that may you get from one of the lenses.

If you are looking for a wide angle lens that supports Nikon D7200, perhaps
you need to consider Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G is Nikon’s best DX format
wide-angle lens—it’s wider and sharper than any other comparable lens and
excellent for landscape photography and architecture. You can also choose
Tokina 11-20mm and 12-28mm or Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM lens is the best
wide-angle lens, even better than AF-S DX NIKKOR 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF lens (According to cameraegg.org).

It turns out there are a lot of Nikon D7200 owners who do not want to
bother to bring a wide angle lens or a 50mm lens that is specifically used to
create portrait photos alone. The reason they are so reasonable, probably
because it is rarely used. Therefore they will melengkali the D7200 with
all-in-one lens, the versatile lens, and usually very pleasant was taken while
on vacation.

It turns out there are a lot of Nikon D7200 owners who do not want to
bother to bring a wide angle lens or a 50mm lens that is specifically used to
create portrait photos alone. The reason they are so reasonable, probably

all-in-one, the versatile lens, and usually very pleasant was taken while on

you can also select Tamron 16-300mm f / 3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO or Sigma
18-300mm f / 3.5-6.3 DC MACRO OS HSM Contemporary.

The lenses are convenient to carry anywhere, without having to carry other
lenses, because they can be used for a variety of shooting styles, certainly
not as good as 50mm or 85mm lens, which is dedicated to making portraits.
Similarly, if you want to create a macro image, then I recommend that you choose lenses like Tamron
90mm f / 2.8 SP Di MACRO 1: 1 VC USD, Tokina 100mm f / 2.8 AT-X M100 AF Pro D
Macro and AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm f / 2.8g ED. If you had more than 1,000 US
dollars, you can buy a Zeiss Makro-Planar T 100mm f / 2 ZF2 for about US$ 1,843.

Choosing a lens for a DSLR camera is like choosing accessories for your
standard car, such as wheels, audio-video or speakers, which would have offered
a variety of brands with a variety of prices. You just have to follow your
conscience, and of course depends on your budget, and

Nikon has acquired Samsung
NX technology, so it can be free to develop Nikon mirrorless camera because the
Samsung is more master and experts in image sensor technology. Whether Samsung
will successfully compete with Olympus, Sony and Panasonic?

Having
previously denied rumors about Nikon acquired Samsung NX, the news finally
proven. Indeed, there are pros and cons about this horrendous acquisition.
According to cnnindonesia.com Samsung's employees who manage the development of the Samsung
NX camera has been moved to another place. NX sales even reported to have been
stopped in several countries.

Cnet.com also reported that it had bought a Nikon APS-C sensor 1 inch of
Samsung and develop it, and then acquired the intellectual property for the NX
camera technology systems, as well as using NX lens itself. This acquisition is
a breakthrough for Nikon as a photography company, which is also the nearest
competitor of Canon. Is this acquisition will strengthen the division of Nikon
mirrorless camera? Of course, time will tell how the fate of Nikon mirrorless
camera business in the near future.

Why Nikon acquired of Samsung NX? According DIY Photography kareena of Samsung
has a great image sensor technology. Also reported that of Samsung will no
longer be running the camera business, but will continue to produce image
sensor, and the course will be made compatible with Nikon cameras, mirrorless
cameras in particular. With the technological superiority of Samsung NX, Nikon
could menghsilkkan Third Fourt Micro cameras or mirrorless cameras better than
Nikon 1 series.

There is no official confirmation until now, whether as a result of this
acquisition will also be produced image sensors for Nikon DSLR cameras. Nikon
also has not provided information about the continuation of cooperation between
Sony and Nikon in the field of image sensors. Perhaps Nikon will continue to
maintain its cooperation with Sony specifically for the production of image
sensors for digital SLR cameras only. Of course only those who are
knowledgeable about the consequences that would arise of this acquisition.

Although Samsung has expertise in the field of technology image sensor for
mirrorless cameras, but the presence of Samsung in the market mirrorless
cameras are considered not able to compete on an ongoing basis because these
companies did not have financial incentive to compete with Sony or Panasonic,
and of course the Olympus who has the greater power to competed in the field of
mirrorless cameras. Because that's very reasonable when Samsung finally close
the camera division, and focus on smartphones and other products.

As with Canon, the Nikon does have a solid role in the camera market, in
particular the availability of products from various segments, namely the entry
level to professional level. Unfortunately, sales of DSLR cameras has declined
in recent years. Does the presence of mirrorless cameras manufactured
Panasonic, Olympus or Sony have affected the mindset and tendency of
photography enthusiasts to mirrorless DSLR?

However, there are many people who think that Nikon diangggap wrong
strategy by launching a series of Nikon 1, which has a 1-inch sensor, a small
lens, moreover sold at very expensive prices. The product is considered not
able to attract consumers, especially the professional segment. Sony, Panasonic
and Olympus have a line-up similar cameras that have better features and
technology, as well as Fujifilm.

Nikon decision to acquire Samsung raises some
pros and cons, but this decision is considered as a smart move, because Nikon
could be more free to innovate and develop a mirrorless camera. Do you agree?
Let us wait for further news.
